That's a great article - just about the right length to keep the interest going so well done for that. I particularly liked Jay's quote that Magic begins with belief rather than disbelief. Thanks for sharing :D .

I love the part when asked about when was the last time he was fooled by a trick. He openly admitted all the time, he'd rather just watch and enjoy the magic. Instead of trying to work out how its done.

Can anybody please help me? I'm having terrible problems controlling my streetmagic- I can't walk down a street without turning into a pub.

I like where he says he admitted to screwing up a trick--- and no one believed him!! I like it because that's absolutely how people react!

...those skeptical................
